Chicago’s own Daisychain return swinging with “Yeah,” a swaggering blast of psychedelic rock that blends vintage ’70s riffs with modern grunge attitude. Packed with fuzzy guitars, infectious hooks, and a tongue-in-cheek message about pushing back against life’s negativity, the single feels both timely and timeless.

Backed by a blistering new Jam In The Van performance, the trio continues to prove why they’re one of the city’s most exciting rising rock acts. If this is a preview of what’s next, Daisychain are only getting louder, tighter, and impossible to ignore.

From the band:

Today, Chicago-based psych rock trio Daisychain make their triumphant return with the gritty, scorching new single “Yeah” out now. Masterfully weaving sounds of 70s rock into the present day, their latest is a guitar-heavy, cheeky tune that aims to preserve good energy while fending off any surrounding negativity. It was produced, mixed and mastered by acclaimed Chicago producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist, Noam Wallenberg (Vulfpeck, A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller). This week, they delivered a high-octane, hypnotic Jam In The Van live session out now. Watch here.

Since the release of their debut album last summer, the band has remained on the road with non-stop shows across the country and made their European debut last year. The band’s thrilling live shows will continue in the Midwest and East Coast this August and September. See a full list below and find more information here.

Pulling from grunge textures and classic rock imagery, Sophia Williams (rhythm guitar, vocals) shares, “‘Yeah’ a tongue-in-cheek song about trying to keep good energy when the world is heavy. It’s a free-flowing tune that still holds grit, perfect for airing your sh*t out.”

Produced by renowned producer, mixer and engineer Sylvia Massy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, Prince), the 2025 spirited debut album, All In A Name, showcases Daisychain’s complexities as people, tight-knit bond as friends and versatility as artists, featuring sounds from wood winds, chimes, pump organs, mixed with synthesized vocal and guitar harmonies. Matching the band’s name, the project sonically blends sultry and soulful vocals with moments of fierce garage-rock and classic 1970s rock, resulting in a robust, thrilling listening experience.

Daisychain is a femme-fronted psych/blues rock trio from Chicago made up of Nickole Regala (bass, vocals), Frankie Sripada (lead guitar) and Sophia Williams (rhythm guitar, vocals). Formed in 2017, Regala and Williams met at a local open mic night, and weeks later they were jamming. Sripada was invited into the mix, and the trio began rehearsing as Daisychain in the basement of their neighborhood coffee shop. Since then, the trio has toured the country, including playing Chicago’s legendary Metro and continues to cement themselves within the rising indie psych rock landscape.

Daisychain is back with “Yeah” out now. Catch the band live across the Midwest and East Coast this July, August and September with tickets available now here.
